Happiness is A Cream Pie
I first got into pieing at the age of 22,thanks to the influence of Tom Forcade , who founded the Underground Press Syndicate, which was a networkof publications such as the Berkeley Barb, Berkeley Tribe, the LA FreePress,theChicago Seed,Take Over,etc.Ultimately that led to one Otto Larsen who headed a Nixonoid Commission on Pornography getting pied. Forcade was a very unique person, who dabbled in the art of spontaneity,whether it meant following the Great Medicine Ball Caravan in order to harass WarnerBrothers or tailing the Sex Pistols during their 1978 tour.Weeven sentTom over to a costume shop to pick up Mouseketeer ears for ourRat Actionat Nixon's 1973 Inhoguration. That protest involved a paper-mache rat float with Nixon's face being paraded thru DC,by the Ratsketeers. On the other hand, Tom Forcade's greatest accomplishment was the creationof High Times in the basement of his shoebox office at West 11th Street.Eventually,he underwent a series of personal crises which led to his suicide in November,1978. At the same time, ex-Zippie Pat Small pied Councilman Harold Rosen of MiamiBeach,after the City Council denied antiwar protestors a permit to camp in thecity's parks during the 1972 Democratic and Republican ConventionsThis enraged Small and others who were involved in the organizing of demonstrations againstthe Vietnam War. Small was sentenced to 90 days for this "heinous act." In the meantime, Rex Weiner and Deanne Stillman, who were also part of the Underground Press Syndicate suddenly decided to come up with the idea of the Agents of Pie Kill Unlimited. Rex and Deanne's operation was set up in such a way so people can havetheirfriends and enemies pied by an Agent. Nothing was sacred when it came to , DavidFrost, William Shatner, Guru Maharaj Ji, proposition 13 pusher HowardJarvis,and Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner were among the pied andfamous. We at Piekill did birthday parties, landlords, weddings, bosses,etc.alongwithhits performed on the 38th floor of the World Trade Center. I was hired by two 16 year old girls who attended a Catholic parochial Schoolto pietheir principal who was a 59 year old crabby nun. This hit resulted in some stimulating after school recreation, complete with pot and a menagea trois,which was the basis of a piece I submitted to the LA Star on the merits of piesexuality By the way, I pied Rex, as he was playing guitar with "Blind OrangeJulius"at CBGBs. Of course, all this hoopla created the notion that everyone had someone in mind who was in dire need of a pie!!! In the spring of 1973, Rennie Davis, one of the Chicago 8, who became a convert to the cult of Guru Maharaj Ji, came to NYC's Lower East Side to proselytize on the Guru's behalf. AbbieHoffman ,JerryRubin and other movement people were there to watch the circus.Rennie came out onto the stage and I landed a pie onto the floor. The Gurunoids started to lick it off the floor. Before
I became the YippiePie Thrower, I grew up
in places like Buffalo and LA. I was
involved with organizing the Griffith
Park Sunday Love-ins with Green Power,
which gave out free food to the
then-adherents of the hippie movement who
drifted around Hollywood, the Sunset
Strip and Venice(wherewe had a Free
Store)We were the subject of harassment
by the LAPD duringthe late 60s andearly 70s due to
their "dislike" of our
ideological aims.We experienced the
oppression of the times along with the
nostalgic pleasureof having seen the Doors, TheDead , TheJeffersonAirplane, ,theByrds .etc.
Anyway,I as a child of holocaust survivors alwayshad a knack for social justice. Therefore, I attended marches on behalf of the Chicano Moratorium and the BlackPantherParty to protest the brutality which had been inflicted onthem by thecops. Peoples Park, Venice, Ca., the 1966 Sunset Strip Riots,along withthe struggles against racism and the Vietnam War were what shaped me into becoming the Pieman. Let 1,000 Pies Fly so as to paraphrase ChairmanMao. One day in
April, 1976, I got a phone call from
a source in the
underground press. The source told me that WilliamF. Buckley was speaking
at N.Y University. I conjured up a
shavingcreampie which landed on his head.
Buckley would not press charges. Soon,I
becameknown as the PIEMAN.
I stood off to the side,hiding my pie inside a shoppingbag, while my comrades heckled Moynihan's campaign workers. Soonthe MAINMAN Moynihan arrived and I let him have it in the kisser. I ranup OrchardSt and then I decided to return for the cameras. The cops letme go. However,John Gurney sold a photo of me pieing Fat Pat to AssociatedPress. 3 months after the pieing of Moynihan, an opportunity came up for anotherhit.My quarry was Tony Ulasewicz-who was Nixon's Watergate bagman. He was on trial in Brooklyn for income tax evasion. I decided to give Ulasewicz an unexpected Christmas present: a pie!!!@! I left the Yippie! office at 9 BleeckerStreet to take theA train to Cadman Plaza -the location of Brooklyn'sUS District Court. Soon,I arrived at the spot, running into WCBS-TV's Chris Borgen and hiscameracrew and oops! Ulasewicz. I had to let him get it from behind soas to conductthis hit in a hit and run manner. I was able to escape viathe A-train.Ulasewicz(who died recently) was mad about it and he claimed he "owed me one, but it was not going to be a pie".This led to some harassment,from the Secret Service due to the fact that Jimmy Carter was about to be sworn in as President. I was in DC. helping to organize the Inauguration of Nobody with Wavy Gravy of the Hog Farmand Woodstock'69 notoriety. Around late April,1977, I was informed by Nancy Borman of Majority Report,that Phyliss Schlaffly, a lady againstwomen from the Eagle Forum, was the guest of honor at a women's republicanclub luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria. I made up a bogus presspass with the name, David Simon, borrowed a suit and we were in business.Anyway,I had to sit in the same room with all these fascist pigs .Soon, we went to the Grand Ballroom, where I surprised Schlafflywith anapple pie for motherhood and Americanism. A photo was released by the AssociatedPress. Other assorted hits in 1977
included pig Supervisor Quentin Kopp of
SanFrancisco at a meeting of the Mission
Planning Council, Ex-Mayor
of NYC Abe Beame (aka the
'biggest crumb in the Big Apple')
,G.Gordon Liddy and the
assassin of JFK, E.Howard Hunt at a
taping of NBC's TomorrowShow, who yelled
"Go to hell, asshole!" I
shoutedback, "Where were you
November 22?" Beame got his at Cooper Union
during a Mayoral Candidates Debate on
Channel13(that was LIVE), while Liddy got
an apple pie at a press conferenceat
theMayflower Hotel in Washington,
DC. The Groucho Marxists of Vancouver, BC heaved it at ex-Black Panther EldridgeCleaverand brain surgeon Jose Delgado. This led to the anarchist rag Open
Road calling for the
International Weekof Pies!
Soon the week of pies commenced upon us... Soon, I found that a hit was in the offing for homophobe, Anita Bryantatan appearance in Des Moines via a strange phone call. I pledged my support and the action was ON! Later that nite, I see a pie-eyed Anita Bryant with pie in face praying for her assailant. I learned that Frank Sturgis,the other Watergater involved in the JFK Assassination wasin NYC. I stalked him for 3 days, armed with a pie. Soon, it was Frank'scourt appearance, I approached him with a coconut cream pie, his lawyer,HenryRothblatt (seen sharing the pie with Sturgis in the photo) knockedit offmy hand and one of his cohorts attacked me. I also got charged forharassment,notassault with a deadly pie I can also mention that Andy Warholwas the recipient of a cherry pie at a HighTimes party, a month before Tom Forcade shot himself.I pied Warholbecausehe had hung out with the bloodthirsty Shah of Iran. Other hits included Edward Teller(bymyself and Venice. Ca's Jerry Rubin), McGeorge Bundy, and Randall TerryofOperation Rescue. In fact,
Oscar de la Renta, was the recipient of a
tofu pie on this Recently,
Melynda Duval from the People for the
Ethical TreatmentofAnimals turned up in
Columbus, Ohio to pie John Popper, who is
the CEO of Procter and Gamble.
Meanwhile,
this site has more pie photos on the way.
Some of which are mineand some of which
were performed by others.Ifyou decide to
pie some reactionary,it is always a good
idea to get it photographed. Please send
the photos to me so that I can give you
free publicity. |

Time was when being
embarrassed meant having
egg on your
face.
These days, it's more
likely to mean having a
pie in it. Just
ask
Frank E. Loy, the under
secretary of state for
global affairs.
Last
month in The Hague, as he
was delivering his daily
briefing at
the
United Nations climate
conference, a protester
hit him with a
cream
pie.
The incident was the
latest in a series of
high-profile
pastry
attacks. The
premier of Victoria,
Australia, Steve Bracks,
got
whapped in October at
the opening of the
Melbourne Museum.
In
August,
the Prince Edward Island
Pie Brigade planted its
weapon of
choice
on the Canadian premier,
Jean Chretian.
Other victims this
year
include Gov. George Ryan
of Illinois, Secretary of
Agriculture
Dan
Glickman and Michel
Camdessus, the
International Monetary
Fund
managing
director.
Until recently, pieing
had gone the way of
streaking. Its
last
major casualty was Anita
Bryant in 1977.
``Everyone associates
this
with the Yippies and the
politics of spectacle,''
said Paul
Lyons,
author of ``New Left, New
Right and the Legacy of
the
Streets''
(Temple University Press,
1996). But ever
since a Belgian
contingent
fired a volley of fluffy
projectiles at Bill Gates
in
1998,
it's been one fling after
another.
Obscurity is no defense.
Minnesota State Senator
Carol Flynn was
hit
with a lemon coconut
cream pie for her role in
the rerouting of a
local
highway. Minutes
after being crowned Miss
Rodeo America 2000
in
Las Vegas, Brandy DeJongh
got mushed by a member of
People for the
Ethical
Treatment of Animals.
``I predicted this,''
said Aron Kay, the
godfather of the
pie-tossing
set,
who put out hits on such
notables as McGeorge
Bundy, G. Gordon Liddy,
Daniel
Patrick Moynihan and
William F. Buckley Jr. in
the 1970's and 80's.
``Everyone
has someone who needs to
get pied.''
The use of pies as
ordnance, of course, is a
hallmark of silent
comedy;
the shtick culminated
with the hurling of more
than 3,000 pies in
the
1927 Laurel and Hardy
film ``Battle of the
Century.''
Today, such innocence has
given way to more
political purposes.
Exactly
30
years have passed since
the modern pie movement's
opening salvo: a
1970
assault
on the Senate Commission
on Obscenity and
Pornography by Tom
Forcade,
the founder of High Times
magazine.
Pie-throwing is one way
of venting anger at a
world that has become
maddeningly
complex and intrusive,
said Alexander Bloom, a
professor of
American
history at Wheaton
College in Massachusetts
and co-editor of
``Takin'
It to the Streets:
A Sixties Reader''
(Oxford University Press,
1995).
``There is this basic
undercurrent of people
who are feeling that
all
these forces beyond their
control - from the I.M.F.
to the W.T.O. to
Y2K
to H.M.O.'s - are in
charge of their lives and
are operating outside of
the
political process,'' he
said. ``I think people
feel frustrated.''
Pieing may also be
part of a resurgent
wave of political
theater,
typified
by the protests at
the World Trade
Organization meeting in
Seattle.
``Over the last year, a
movement that I thought
was thoroughly
dead
is not dead,'' said
Barbara Epstein, a
professor of the history
of
consciousness
at the University of
California at Santa
Cruz.
``Pie-throwing is part of
that movement.'`
In general, pieing is a
leftist activity with
anarchist
overtones.
Targets tend to be
identified with big
business or forces seen
as
hostile to the
environment, public
health and/or human
rights. The
manifesto
of the Biotic Baking
Brigade, a San
Francisco-based
pie-throwing
group
whose members employ such
pseudonyms as ``Agent
Apple'' and ``Agent
Pecan,''
inveighs against ``the
technocrats who dominate
industrial society.''
Thus, the B.B.B. has
creamed Monsanto's
chief executive, Robert
Shapiro,
the Nobel Prize-winning
economist Milton Friedman
and Martina
McGlaughlin,
director of the
biotechnology program at
the University of
California
at Davis. ``We are
working toward a time
when corporate crooks
and
their lackeys in
government and the
nonprofit sector will
have to leave
this
bioregion for fear of our
delicious mischief,'' the
B.B.B. pledges.
``The right wing doesn't
have that kind of sense
of humor,'' observed
Professor
Epstein. ``If
you're concerned with law
and order, you're
probably
not going to be throwing
pies.''
Professor Bloom added:
``It's assault, clearly,
but pies defuse the
anger
and identify the target
as a clown. If someone
dumped feces or blood
or
mock toxic waste on you,
that would be a lot more
threatening.''
Most victims treat their
attacks with good humor.
When the pie aimed
at
Secretary Glickman only
grazed him, he joked,
``That was not a very
balanced
meal.'' An amused Ms.
McGlaughlin accused
her ostensibly
anti-biotech
assailants of hypocrisy:
``The pies were
store-bought, so they
were
filled with genetically
modified food
components.''
Not everyone is cracking
a smile over this merry
pranksterism. Three
B.B.B.
agents who pied San
Francisco Mayor Willie
Brown in 1998 to protest
his
policies toward the
homeless were convicted
on misdemeanor battery
charges
and sentenced to six
months in prison. After
Tim Eyman was pied in
June
for sponsoring a
Washington State
initiative to reduce
funds for
public
transit, he complained of
corneal abrasion and
chemical burns from
the
warhead's fruit filling.
``I think it's
terrible,'' said the
comedian Soupy Sales, who
estimates
he has been on the
receiving end of some
20,000 pies during his
career.
``Leave pies to the
professional idiots.
Better to sit back and
enjoy
them with a cup of coffee
or a glass of milk.''

Dear pastry lovers, subversives,

list:
Sorry for the delay in sending out this report, I must blame technology and travel for this.

Cheers! Hold the moral pie

-- Agent Apple for the BBB
U.S. Delegate Pied at Climate Conference
Today at 6.20pm 2 women
infiltrated the US Delegation
Press Conference. One armed with
a pie,
and the other with a
mega-rant.... As Frank Loy, head
of the US Delegation, began to
peddle his
usual bollox, Agent Cherry Pie
scooped a rather mushy black
forest gateaux (stolen) out of
her bag,
leapt forward from her front-row
seat and planted it right in his
face. Immediately Agent Sushi
jumped
up onto her chair and started
ranting [see text from leaflet
below]. As Agent Sushi was
carried and
thrown out, ranting all the way,
both Agents managed to get out
the door, walk past the running
cops and escape into the night.
Frank Loy, meanwhile, looked like
total mess, with pie exploded all
over his face. He tried to scrape
his dignity together, managed a
few words and then cancelled the
press conference.
On a more serious note... this
action was in solidarity with a
fucking wicked woman who is
currently
being held by police for the
third night after the disruption
of the launch of the CO2e.com
website
(carbon emissions trading
profiteers). The police are
attempting to frame her on an
assault charge.
Stay posted to this site to see
how you can helpthis woman.
Lessons to learn from this
action: It is really easy! You
can do it too. Just get a smart
suit, a pie,
think up a rant, and away you go
- keep believing you can get away
with it. People are so shocked
that you can use the confusion to
your advantage, to get away. Keep
ranting and they will be
desperate to get you out of their
precious private space, and may
throw you out, and then you can
try and escape.
This is the text of the leaflet
distributed yesterday in the
conference center, which the UN
authorities
confiscated on the grounds that
it was inappropriate:
WHAT'S ONE LESSON TO BE LEARNED FROM YESTERDAY'S ACTIONS INSIDE COP6?
We are everywhere!
The COP process has become a
greenwashed corporate fantasy
land. Yesterday, inside the
Congress Centre, that bubble was
burst by a series of actions the
UN had certainly not sanctioned:
Frank Loy, the leader of the US
delegation and all-round
corporate stooge, was greeted
with a black
(offset) forest gateau by 2 women
known only as Agents Cherry Pie
and Sushi. This is their
statement: "This pie, Frank
Loy, was for you and all the
vested interests you represent.
This
conference is a farce - it isn't
about finding solutions to an
ecological crisis, it's become a
series of
trade talks...The Western
lifestyle is not sustainable, and
the rich can't buy their way out
of global
warming. Today you are being held
accountable for your actions and
you will continue to meet
resistance."
Thirty people - from 6 different
countries - stormed the stage in
a closed session of government
negotiations. The hall was
eventually cleared of delegates
and sealed off to press while the
protesters were assaulted by
security. Later, they were
invited by COP6 President Jan
Pronk to
voice their opinions, which they
did briefly before declaring the
whole process a sham and leaving.
See this for the text of the leaflet.
Five activists dropped a banner
slamming emissions trading from a
beam which they occupied for
over 2.5 hours. A banner was hung
directly outside the Congress
Centre. It read "CLIMATE
TALKS =
MONEY TALKS"
The last 2 weeks in Den Haag have
been characterised by secrecy,
exclusivity, repression and
censorship. Closed doors and
police lines have been the order
of the day.
But let's not forget the many
people all over the world
struggling for climate justice
whose voices are
not being heard in this building,
as well as those currently inside
Dutch jails simply for the crime
of
telling it like it is: that there
can be no solution to climate
change until we put the earth
before profit.

"A Good Day to Pie" Play Now Available for Touring
Kairos Theatre Company is proud
to announce that its play A GOOD
DAY TO PIE is available for
tour. The play can be brought to
most performance spaces and has
been produced in non-theatrical
venues such as classrooms and
churches. It can be performed
out-of-doors as well.
A GOOD DAY TO PIE is a play about
activism and Genetically
Engineered food In 1998,
activists
from the anarchist group the
BIOTIC BAKING BRIGADE staged a
'pie' attack on Monsanto CEO
Robert Shapiro. The activists
later explained that the protest
was carried out to call attention
to the
fact that, thanks to Monsanto and
other companies active in the
bio-engineering of food, some 60%
of the food on an American's
Thanksgiving table would be
genetically altered. In A GOOD
DAY TO
PIE, a young BBB activist named
'Vandana' explains the attack as
she awaits news of her jury
trial.
A young woman whose earliest
memories were of communal life in
Northern California, 'Vandana'
explains to the audience the
roots of her passion about food.
A volunteer at local food
kitchens, she
laments the way that genetic and
other scientific changes in the
nature of food have made eating a
risky experience for many of us.
A GOOD DAY TO PIE is a cooking
show gone berserk: 'Vandana'
shows us the foods that are no
longer in her diet and questions
what she will be serving at the
soup
kitchen in ten years.
A GOOD DAY TO PIE was originally
produced at Kairos Theatre's 1998
One-Act Festival. It has
since been presented at over a
dozen different venues,
including: Gilda's Friends cancer
survivors
group; Drew University's
'Greening of the Church'
conference; and NYU's 'Millenial
Stews' food
conference. A GOOD DAY TO PIE
features Rebecca Pridmore as
'Vandana'. It was directed by
David Szlasa.

Salmon can't be endangered, you
can find them all over
Chenoweth
As the first spark of the
so-called
"catastrophic" wild
fires ignited in the northern
Rockies this
summer, elected officials in
Montana and Idaho were all too
eager to rally around these
"disasters."
As the cries for salvage logging
rang out, many citizens and
activists in the area were
determined to
not let the timber industry and
its elected puppets manipulate
the situation to meet corporate
needs.
On September 17, Rep. Helen
Chenoweth-Hage (R-ID) and Rep.
Rick Hill (R-MT) held a
Congressional Field Hearing on
"forest health" at the
University of Montana in
Missoula. The hearing
was not open to public comment or
testimony (or so they intended).
As Helen, the wise-use puppet,
was hatching up ways to turn a
profit from the fires, the Salmon
Soufflé Society had something
else in the oven. As the hearing
was called to order and the rules
and
process were announced, everyone
settled in to endure the usual
lies from the usual suspects.
Chenoweth was beginning to drone
on unaware of what lay in wait.
Only a few minutes into her
testimony Randy Mark, a committed
Northern Rockies forest activist,
swiftly approached the panel,
and his highly noxious pie met
its target. The auditorium fell
dead silent until one man called
out,
"You're the greatest threat
to the forest, Helen." Randy
was tackled by various government
henchmen and hauled out a back
door. The hearing had to be
recessed for an hour while Helen
removed the particles of salmon
from her hair. The pie, a soupy
mix of whipping cream and whipped
salmon baked for hours at low
heat, was overwhelmingly
nauseating. The incredibly awful
smell took
hold of the auditorium for the
remainder of the day. The pie
succeeded in carrying a clear
message:
The process was fishy, the
proposals stunk and she would
have to face it.
The authorities in Idaho and
Montana did not appreciate
Randy's actions as much as we
did, and
they are making him pay for it
greatly. He was in jail in
Missoula from September 17 until
November
9 being held on two federal
misdemeanor charges of assault on
a public official. He accepted a
plea
bargain and plead guilty to
pieing Helen, and his sentencing
is set for February 6. He is
currently
serving a 40-day sentence in
Idaho for violating conditions
imposed for blocking a Forest
Service
road at a controversial timber
sale earlier this year.
His legal fees are costly, and we
desperately need monetary help.
Checks or cash can be mailed to
Randall Mark Legal Defense Fund,
POB 8452, Moscow, Idaho 83843. It
also gets very lonely in jail,
and Randy Mark would appreciate
any mail sent to him. You can
write him at PO 8068, Latah Co.
Jail, Inmate, Moscow, Idaho
83843. The Salmon Soufflé
Society would also like it to be
known that
all ingredients included in the
pie were liberated from a huge
chain food store and that most
canned
salmon is factory farmed hatchery
fish.

A report (by Royal Canadian
Mounted Police Commissioner
Guiliano Zaccarelli, and released
to the
Canadian Solicitor-General
September 27) was obtained by
Southam News under the Freedom to
Information Act. They comment:
From: the Vancouver Sun, Nov 3/2000, A1:
"Canada's recent bout of
culinary terrorism has the RCMP
worried. Is the nation
wexperiencing a rise
in civil disobedience not seen
since the Vietnam War protests
three decades ago?... the assault
on
Chretien (states the report)
"clearly indicates that the
proponents of civil disobedience
have
permeated all levels of our
society and even a law-abiding
city such as Charlottetown, PEI
cannot be
considered a low-risk venue"
Chretien Pie Update
Case adjourned until after
election
Greetings Pie Lovers,
Just a note to let you know that
the court case of Evan Brown has
been adjourned until after
election
(Nov. 30). Crown prosecutor
Valerie Moore had her motion to
adjourn proceedings granted.
Many people must miss work when
they are subpoenaed and some of
them are not too happy about
it. I guess this doesn't apply if
you are the Prime Minister.
It's funny that he didn't have
time to come to PEI on Nov. 3rd,
but he was here electioneering
the
next day (albeit with tightened
security).
We are confident that the crown's
attempts to quash the subpoena
will fail, and Chretien will
eventually have to come to court
(unless charges are dropped).
See below for related news articles.
We'd like to express our
gratitude to the people who have
helped us financially. If you can
make a
donation toward legal costs, we'd
be greatful. Cheques shold be
made payable to MacLeod, Crane,
and Parkman (In trust re: pie)
and sent to:

More news from Canada (this was posted in October):
Paul Martin has announced that he
is cancelling his scheduled
appearance at a forum on
globalization and human rights,
taking place at Montreal this
weekend.
I wonder if Martin was scared of
getting a pie on the eve of an
election call. Montreal is a
hotbed of
pie throwing and Martin's office
blamed the cancellation on
"security concerns".
Whether it was pies that scared
him away, or he had other
security concerns, he is
obviously
scared of his crimes coming to
light.
An interesting parallel to the
OAS meetings in June, when Lloyd
Axworthy cancelled his appearance
before NGOs and the public.
They're on the run!

Pie in the eye - the cream tart
in modern politics November 23,
2000
by Paul Sussman, CNN.com writer
The attacker mingles with the
crowd, weapon in hand, waiting to
pounce. As his victim approaches
he edges forward slightly, body
tense, one eye on the security
guards, the other on his victim's
face.
Now his target is alongside and,
with a defiant yell, the attacker
strikes, lunging forward, arm
raised.
For a moment the world seems to
stand still, then the weapon
makes contact and splat!
Whipped cream showers everywhere,
there is a strong smell of
vanilla, another world leader
falls
prey to a cream tart.
Over the last few years an
increasing number of politicians,
celebrities and industrialists
have been
subjected to cream pie attacks.
The attacks have taken place
throughout the world, and claimed
such illustrious victims as
Microsoft's Bill Gates, Canadian
Prime Minister Jean Chretien,
former European Commission
President Jacques Delors and
Dutch Finance Minister Gerrit
Zalm, who was last year felled by
an
organic banana pie at the opening
of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange.
Most recently Frank Loy, the
United States' chief negotiator
at the U.N. conference on climate
change in The Hague, the
Netherlands, had a pastry pushed
into his face by an environmental
campaigner protesting at U.S.
reluctance to reduce its
greenhouse gas emissions.
"It's essentially a form of
democratic anarcho-populist
politics," explains Dr.
Rodney Barker, Reader
in Government at the London
School of Economics. "What
it's doing is saying that those
who are
taken incredibly seriously both
by themselves and the media
deserve to be knocked down a peg
or
two.
"It's about pointing out to
the general public that the
emperor doesn't have as many
clothes as he
thinks he does."
A whole network of mainly
left-wing pie-wielding activist
organisations now exists around
the globe,
intent on "flanning"
those in positions of power and
influence.
Among the most active are The
Biotic Baking Brigade and Mad
Anarchist Bakers' League in the
U.S., The Meringue Marauders in
Canada, T.A.A.R.T. in Holland and
People Insurgent Everywhere
(PIE) in the UK.
Eggs and rotten cats
Although history records numerous
incidents of objects being thrown
at public figures -- as early as
the 1st century AD Roman
chroniclers were describing how
the Emperor Nero was pelted with
onions in the Colosseum -- the
use of the cream pie as a means
of political protest is a
relatively
recent phenomenon.
"In the past people have
tended to express themselves by
throwing eggs, vegetables or
rotten cats,"
says Barker. "That can be
harmful, however. The whole thing
about cream pies is that allows
you to
make your point without actually
hurting anybody."
Two figures have been especially
prominent in the rise of
confectionery as an instrument of
political
protest.
In the U.S. left-wing activist
Aron Kay has been dubbed
"The Pieman" for a
whole series of attacks
stretching across almost three
decades, and including such
victims as right-wing political
commentator William F. Buckley,
former CIA director William Colby
and former New York Mayor
Abe Beame.
In Belgium, meanwhile, Noel
Godin, the "Godfather of the
Cream Pie", has, since 1969,
been
engaged in what he describes as a
"cream crusade" against
"the great and the
wicked."
During that time his
International Patisserie Brigade
has "entarted" everyone
from New Wave film
director Jean-Luc Godard to Bill
Gates.
"There are a thousand forms
of subversion," he commented
in a 1995 interview with the
Observer
magazine, "But few, in my
opinion, can equal the
convenience and immediacy of a
cream pie."
Godin and his fellow pie-throwers
plan their attacks meticulously,
exchanging information on the
movement of prominent figures via
the Internet and employing
sophisticated diversionary
tactics to
outwit security guards.
A rudimentary "pie-wielders'
code" has developed, with
activists adhering to certain
basic rules of
engagement: the pie must be
"deposited lovingly"
rather than simply thrown,
attackers should try to
wear some sort of silly costume,
the attack should humiliate, but
not injure.
"We only use the finest
patisserie," Godin told
Britain's Observer newspaper,
"Ordered at the last
minute from small local bakers.
Quality is everything."
Whether such attacks actually
have any effect on the world's
decision makers, other than
adding to
their dry cleaning bill, is
doubtful.
An increasing number of people,
however, are seeing the cream pie
as a useful means of venting
their frustration and making a
political point.
"It might not have any
direct effect on a politician's
policies," admitted a
spokesmen for Dutch flan
activists T.A.A.R.T. "What
it does do is bring issues to the
notice of the general public.
"There are few better ways
of getting your voice heard than
by slapping a big soggy pie in
someone's
face."
say it with pies
sometimes it's hard to find the
words,
although we search for hours;
and so, on those occasions,
we might 'say it with flowers'--
our tenderer emotions,
by people felt, and possums,
expressed in the universal
language of blossoms.
but how do you respond to
cover-ups and outright lies?
fortunately, there is a way--
say it with pies!
instead of trying to decide
which flower would be more
thrilling,
you're standing there deciding
between a choice of filling;
o should it be an apple,
mincemeat, or a cream pie?
here's your chance to be creative
and come up with a dream pie.
satisfaction's in the baking,
and sheer joy when it flies;
it's a noble undertaking--
say it with pies!
--Dennis Frizinger, Poet Laureate
of the Global Pastry Uprising
There are a thousand forms of
subversion, all of them
interesting. But few, in my
opinion, can equal
the convenience and immediacy of
the cream pie."

Entarteur
